Rize, a Singapore-based agritech start-up, is helping farmers use alternate wetting and drying (AWD) technology that helps reduce the methane gas emissions from rice production.

Rize is currently working with farming cooperatives in Indonesia and Vietnam with plans to expand to South and Southeast Asia.
